    I don't see it as insulting... it's a kinda cool word, would be a shame to lose it from the language

    LOL

    What is it?

    Is that like the rest of those confusing crats?

    I never can get any of them right.
    tech·no·crat
    ˈteknəˌkrat/
    noun
    noun: technocrat; plural noun: technocrats

    an exponent or advocate of technocracy.
    a member of a technically skilled elite.

    Translate technocrat to
    Use over time for: technocrat

    Oh yeah.  Technocracy.  That clears it up perfectly.

    Not insulting, just meaningless. 

    If "technocrat" were a thing, the kid who fixes your computer would run the country.
